       CELEBRATING THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF ST. MARGARET'S SCHOOL

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ROBERT J. WITTMAN

                       Monday, February 27, 2023

  Mr. WITTMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the 100th 
anniversary of St. Margaret's School in Tappahannock, Virginia.
  In the early 20th century, secondary school options for young women 
in the rural south were limited. To meet the educational needs of young 
women in the Tappahannock area, the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia 
established St. Margaret's School in 1921. In the 100 years since then, 
St. Margaret's School has educated young women and prepared them for 
life. The dedicated school heads, faculty, and staff encourage and 
develop students' passions--in the classroom, on the athletic field, on 
the theater stage, and on the Rappahannock River. St. Margaret's 
School's culture of inclusivity is grounded in its Episcopal roots, and 
challenges students to develop confidence, resilience, and strength of 
character. The school's motto, ``as we grow in age, may we grow in 
grace,'' guides students and graduates through their entire lives. St. 
Margaret's School left an indelible mark on generations of young women 
and the Tappahannock area--and will continue to do so.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you to rise with me today to honor and celebrate 
the 100th anniversary of St. Margaret's School. May God bless St. 
Margaret's School as it enters its second century of educating young 
women.
